Penile Plication for Peyronie's Disease: The Iterative 8-Dot Technique.
Article in Urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPenile plication is a minimally invasive and effective technique for managing mild to severe curvature from Peyronie's disease.
methodsRetrospective chart review of all patients undergoing penile plication for Peyronie's disease by one surgeon at one academic institution from November 2016-December 2020 was conducted. Those occurring during IPP placement were excluded. Technical aspects of surgery were detailed and intraoperative video footage was made to illustrate the technique including papaverine injection, incision and variations, tissue dissection, iterative 8-dot plication with absorbable suture, and post-operative evaluation. Primary outcomes were intra-operative and long-term success.
resultsA total of 66 patients were included. Median age was 58 years old (Range 24-73 years old). Average preoperative curvature was 45 degrees (Range 20-90 degrees). Curvature direction included 64% dorsal, 20% dorsolateral, 8% ventral, 5% ventrolateral, 3% lateral. Overall, 55% had complex deformities (biplanar curvature (38%), curvature of >60 degrees (50%), or both (11%)). Hinge effect was present in 14% of patients. Erectile dysfunction was present in 57% of patients. Ventral minimally invasive incisions were most common (64%) followed by circumcising incisions (24%), only 9% of patients had concurrent circumcision. Median number of 8-dot plication sutures used was 3 (Range 1-12). Intraoperative success, defined as completely straight was 97%. The 2 technical failures were directly related to ability to maintain intraoperative erection. Mean follow up was 4.5 months (IQR 1.1-4.2) and 91% of patients reported straight erections at follow up. No patient with hinge effect had a intraoperative failure or recurrence. There were no major complications. Rate of minor complication (superficial dehiscence, hematoma) was 6%. There were no revision plication procedures or patients who proceeded to penile implant surgery.
conclusionsThis iterative approach to penile plication with absorbable suture is an effective, minimally invasive, and reproducible technique for correcting acquired penile curvature.
